On Saturday, March 9th, 2019 the Mississauga of Rice Lake Cannabis Association will be hosting a day long meeting in Alderville to bring together Anishinabek cannabis growers and dispensary owners to discuss, improve, and possibly adopt a common framework of self-regulation and community governance that puts the regulation and economic benefit of the cannabis industry firmly in our own people’s hands.
On Saturday, March 9th, 2019 the Mississauga of Rice Lake Cannabis Association will be hosting a day long meeting in Alderville to bring together Anishinaabe cannabis growers and dispensary owners to discuss, improve, and possibly adopt a common framework of self-regulation and community governance that puts the regulation and economic benefit of the cannabis industry firmly in our own people’s hands.
We believe that if we are able to articulate a common framework within our industry across our various communities, we will have a much greater level of success in gaining the support and backing of our community members and political leaderships for a self-regulated industry.
We are planning to hold this meeting from 8:30am to 7pm on Saturday, March 9th, 2019 in Alderville. Food will be provided for attendees. The information package for the event is available Alderville model package.
This meeting is open to all Anishinaabe people currently participating in the cannabis industry. We ask all interested in attending to register online in the form at the bottom of this page so we can get a sense of the number of people attending.
